Mike Mwanikha and familyMike in Kenya

Shirley was so blessed by her stay with Mike Mwanikha and his family in their humble home in Kimilili, Kenya, in early October 2006. They live in a rural community high up in Western Kenya near the Ugandan border. Mike contacted us, asking for help with children's ministry training and resources, after he was given one of our books of lessons for children by a friend visiting from England. That was back in January 2004, and it led to a friendship that has quickly grown through letters and, more recently, e-mails. Mike had been involved in children's ministry for a number of years, although he found very little support or interest from local pastors. He inspired us to start writing our children's ministry seminar by correspondence, and became the first to graduate from that course, receiving his diploma over two years later. As his children's ministry has developed more and more (especially using puppets and drama skits), God has given him great favor with churches from many different denominations, and he has begun to teach others. We are pleased that he has agreed to continue to partner with us in developing a branch of our children's ministry there in the Kenya/Uganda region.

Pastor Sika and family Pastor Sika in Togo

We have come to know Pastor Sika and his wife Lucie over the past few years and feel very privileged to be working with this faithful and dedicated couple in Togo, West Africa. Their ministry is named Prisons, Orphanages and Children's Ministry, but the effects of this well-established and very organized ministry are felt across the whole country of Togo. Pastor Sika's help in translating our materials into French means that we can now make them available to many more people interested in children's ministry both in West Africa and other French-speaking countries. Shirley visited Togo in June 2008 and that visit led to a major new vision and ministry plan called the Joseph Project.

Pastor Honoré and family Pastor Honoré in Central African Republic

We were first contacted by Pastor Honoré and his wife Clarisse in late 2009 after they found and read completely through our website. After receiving a package of our resources they felt strongly that they should add a new area to their ministry and focus it on reaching and teaching children the Gospel. After discussion with their board of directors, they planned and prepared a two-week children's ministry training seminar, held successfully in April 2010. As a result, 42 church leaders were trained in children's ministry and since then there have been amazing reports of what God is doing for and among children in this African country which is considered one of the poorest  in the world.  Our relationship with Pastor Honoré and his ministry has continued to grow and we encourage you to learn more by following this link Pastor Honoré
